BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

G Protein Coupled Receptors

G Protein coupled receptors share a common structural motif. All thesereceptors have seven sequences of between 22 to 24 hydrophobic aminoacids that form seven alpha helices, each of which spans the membrane.The transmembrane helices are joined by strands of amino acids having alarger loop between the fourth and fifth transmembrane helix on theextracellular side of the membrane. Another larger loop, composedprimarily of hydrophilic amino acids, joins transmembrane helices fiveand six on the intracellular side of the membrane. The carboxy terminusof the receptor lies intracellularly with the amino terminus in theextracellular space. It is thought that the loop joining helices fiveand six, as well as, the carboxy terminus, interact with the G protein.Currently, Gq, Gs, Gi and Go are G proteins that have been identified.

Under physiological conditions, G protein coupled receptors exist in thecell membrane in equilibrium between two different states orconformations: an “inactive” state and an “active” state. A receptor inan inactive state is unable to link to the intracellular transductionpathway to produce a biological response. Changing the receptorconformation to the active state allows linkage to the transductionpathway and produces a biological response.

A receptor may be stabilized in an active state by an endogenous ligandor an exogenous agonist ligand. Recent discoveries such as, includingbut not exclusively limited to, modifications to the amino acid sequenceof the receptor provide means other than ligands to stabilize the activestate conformation. These means effectively stabilize the receptor in anactive state by simulating the effect of a ligand binding to thereceptor. Stabilization by such ligand-independent means is termed“constitutive receptor activation.”

Serotonin Receptors

Receptors for serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) are an importantclass of G protein coupled receptors. Serotonin is thought to play arole in processes related to learning and memory, sleep,thermoregulation, mood, motor activity, pain, sexual and aggressivebehaviors, appetite, neurodegenerative regulation, and biologicalrhythms. Not surprisingly, serotonin is linked to pathophysiologicalconditions such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders,schizophrenia, suicide, autism, migraine, emesis, alcoholism, andneurodegenerative disorders. With respect to anti-psychotic treatmentapproaches focused on the serotonin receptors, these types oftherapeutics can generally be divided into two classes, the “typical”and the “atypical.” Both have anti-psychotic effects, but the typicalsalso include concomitant motor-related side effects (extra pyramidalsyndromes, e.g., lip-smacking, tongue darting, locomotor movement, etc).Such side effects are thought to be associated with the compoundsinteracting with other receptors, such as the human dopamine D₂ receptorin the nigro-striatal pathway. Therefore, an atypical treatment ispreferred. Haloperidol is considered a typical anti-psychotic, andclozapine is considered an atypical anti-psychotic.

Serotonin receptors are divided into seven subfamilies, referred to as5-HT₁ through 5-HT₇, inclusive. These subfamilies are further dividedinto subtypes. For example, the 5-HT₂ subfamily is divided into threereceptor subtypes: 5-HT_(2A), 5-HT_(2B), and 5-HT_(2c). The human5-HT_(2c) receptor was first isolated and cloned in 1987, and the human5-HT_(2A) receptor was first isolated and cloned in 1990. These tworeceptors are thought to be the site of action of hallucinogenic drugs.Additionally, antagonists to the 5-HT_(2A) and 5-HT_(2c) receptors arebelieved to be useful in treating depression, anxiety, psychosis, andeating disorders.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,985,352 describes the isolation, characterization, andexpression of a functional cDNA clone encoding the entire human5-HT_(1c) receptor (now known as the 5-HT_(2c) receptor). U.S. Pat. Nos.5,661,024 and 6,541,209 describe the isolation, characterization, andexpression of a functional cDNA clone encoding the entire human5-HT_(2A) receptor.

Mutations of the endogenous forms of the rat 5-HT_(2A) and rat 5-HT_(2c)receptors have been reported to lead to constitutive activation of thesereceptors (5-HT_(2A): Casey, C. et al. (1996) Society for NeuroscienceAbstracts, 22:699.10, hereinafter “Casey”; 5-HT_(2c): Herrick-Davis, K.,and Teitler, M. (1996) Society for Neuroscience Abstracts, 22:699.18,hereinafter “Herrick-Davis 1”; and Herrick-Davis, K. et al. (1997) J.Neurochemistry 69(3): 1138, hereinafter “Herrick-Davis-2”). Caseydescribes a mutation of the cysteine residue at position 322 of the rat5-HT_(2A) receptor to lysine (C322K), glutamine (C322Q), and arginine(C322R) which reportedly led to constitutive activation. Herrick-Davis 1and Herrick-Davis 2 describe mutations of the serine residue at position312 of the rat 5-HT_(2c) receptor to phenylalanine (S312F) and lysine(S312K), which reportedly led to constitutive activation.

DEFINITIONS

For clarity and consistency, the following definitions will be usedthroughout this patent document.

The term “agonists” shall mean moieties that interact and activate thereceptor, such as the 5-HT_(2A) receptor, and initiates a physiologicalor pharmacological response characteristic of that receptor. Forexample, when moieties activate the intracellular response upon bindingto the receptor, or enhance GTP binding to membranes.

The term “antagonist” is intended to mean moieties that competitivelybind to the receptor at the same site as agonists (for example, theendogenous ligand), but which do not activate the intracellular responseinitiated by the active form of the receptor, and can thereby inhibitthe intracellular responses by agonists or partial agonists. Antagonistsdo not diminish the baseline intracellular response in the absence of anagonist or partial agonist.

The term “contact or contacting” is intended to mean bringing theindicated moieties together, whether in an in vitro system or an in vivosystem. Thus, “contacting” a 5HT_(2A) receptor with a compound of theinvention includes the administration of a compound of the presentinvention to an individual, preferably a human, having a 5HT_(2A)receptor, as well as, for example, introducing a compound of theinvention into a sample containing a cellular or more purifiedpreparation containing a 5HT_(2A) receptor.

The term “mono-valent-metabolically-labile group” as used herein refersto any group that, following administration of a compound containing thegroup to an individual, is converted in vivo to a compound of Formula(Ia) wherein R^(4b) is H. The conversion of the “firstmetabolically-liable group” can be by metabolic and/or chemicalprocesses and can occur in one step or through a series of two or moresteps. Representative examples of a “mono-valent-metabolically-labilegroup” include, but are not limited to, —CO(═O)—R^(4c) (thus, togetherwith the nitrogen forms a carbamate), —C(═O)—R^(4c) (together with thenitrogen forms an amide), and the like, wherein R^(4c) is C₁₋₁₈ alkyl,aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl, and heteroarylalkyl each optionallysubstituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 substituents selected independentlyfrom the group consisting of C₁₋₆ acyl, C₁₋₆ acyloxy, C₂₋₆ alkenyl, C₁₋₆alkoxy, C₁₋₆ alkyl, C₁₋₆ alkylcarboxamide, C₂₋₆ alkynyl, C₁₋₆alkylsulfonamide, C₁₋₆ alkylsulfinyl, C₁₋₆ alkylsulfonyl, C₁₋₆alkylthio, C₁₋₆ alkylureyl, amino, C₁₋₆ alkylamino, C₂₋₈ dialkylamino,carbo-C₁₋₆-alkoxy, carboxamide, carboxy, cyano, C₃₋₇ cycloalkyl, C₂₋₈dialkylcarboxamide, C₂₋₈ dialkylsulfonamide, halogen, C₁₋₆ haloalkoxy,C₁₋₆ haloalkyl, C₁₋₆ haloalkylsulfinyl, C₁₋₆ haloalkylsulfonyl, C₁₋₆haloalkylthio, hydroxyl, thiol, nitro, oxo, phenyl, and sulfonamide. Insome embodiments, the “mono-valent-metabolically-labile group” is C₁₋₁₂acyl, carbo-C₁₋₆-alkoxy, or C(═O)O-aryl, wherein the C₁₋₁₂ acyl,carbo-C₁₋₆-alkoxy, and —C(═O)O-aryl are each optionally substituted with1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 substituents selected independently from the groupconsisting of C₁₋₆ alkylcarboxamide, amino, C₁₋₆ alkylamino, C₂₋₈dialkylamino, C₁₋₆ alkylimino, C₁₋₆ alkylsulfinyl, C₁₋₆ alkylsulfonyl,C₁₋₆ alkylthio, halogen, nitro, and phenyl; or R^(4b) is—CO(═O)CR^(a)R^(b)OC(═O)R^(c), wherein le, R^(b) and le are eachindependently selected from H, or C₁₋₆ alkyl. The groups illustrated areexemplary, not exhaustive, and one skilled in the art could prepareother known varieties of groups. In some cases, a“mono-valent-metabolically-labile group” (i.e., R^(4b)) can serve toimprove efficacy or safety through improved oral bioavailability, orpharmacodynamic half-life, etc.

The term “in need of treatment” is intended to mean a judgment made by acaregiver (e.g. physician, nurse, nurse practitioner, etc. in the caseof humans; veterinarian in the case of animals, including non-humanmammals) that an individual or animal requires or will benefit fromtreatment. This judgment is made based on a variety of factors that arein the realm of a caregiver's expertise, but that includes the knowledgethat the individual or animal is ill, or will become ill, as the resultof a disease, condition or disorder that is treatable by the compoundsof the invention. Accordingly, the compounds of the invention can beused in a protective or preventive manner; or compounds of the inventioncan be used to alleviate, inhibit or ameliorate the disease, conditionor disorder.

The term “individual” is intended to mean any animal, including mammals,preferably mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine,cattle, sheep, horses, or primates, and most preferably humans.

The term “inverse agonists” is intended to mean moieties that bind theendogenous form of the receptor or to the constitutively activated formof the receptor, and which inhibit the baseline intracellular responseinitiated by the active form of the receptor below the normal base levelof activity which is observed in the absence of agonists or partialagonists, or decrease GTP binding to membranes. Preferably, the baselineintracellular response is inhibited in the presence of the inverseagonist by at least 30%, more preferably by at least 50%, and mostpreferably by at least 75%, as compared with the baseline response inthe absence of the inverse agonist.

The term “isolated” refers to material that is removed from its originalenvironment (e.g., the natural environment if it is naturallyoccurring). For example, a metabolite that is formed from a parentcompound present in a natural system (e.g. individual) is not isolated,but the same metabolite, separated from some or all of the coexistingmaterials in the natural system is considered isolated. In addition, themetabolite that is prepared by synthetic means is also consideredisolated.

The term “modulate or modulating” is intended to mean an increase ordecrease in the amount, quality, response or effect of a particularactivity, function or molecule.

The term “pharmaceutical composition” is intended to mean a compositioncomprising at least one active ingredient; including but not limited to,salts, solvates and hydrates of compounds of Formula (Ia); whereby thecomposition is amenable to investigation for a specified, efficaciousoutcome in a mammal (for example, without limitation, a human). Those ofordinary skill in the art will understand and appreciate the techniquesappropriate for determining whether an active ingredient has a desiredefficacious outcome based upon the needs of the artisan.

The term “prodrug” as used herein refers to any compound that whenadministered to a biological system (e.g., in vivo in an individual, andthe like) generates a compound of Formula (Ia), wherein R^(4a) andR^(4b) are both H, as a result of chemical reaction(s), enzyme catalyzedchemical reaction(s), and/or metabolic chemical reaction(s). In someembodiments, compounds of the present invention can be converted to“pro-drugs.” In some embodiments, “pro-drugs” refer to compounds thathave been modified with specific chemical groups known in the art andwhen administered into an individual these groups undergobiotransformation to give the parent compound. Pro-drugs can thus beviewed as compounds of the invention containing one or more specializednon-toxic protective groups used in a transient manner to alter or toeliminate a property of the compound. In one general aspect, the“pro-drug” approach is utilized to facilitate oral absorption. Athorough discussion is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, “Pro-drugsas Novel Delivery Systems,” Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series; andin Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, AmericanPharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which arehereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

The term “divalent-metabolically-labile group” as used herein refers toany group that comprises R^(4a) and R^(4b) together with the nitrogen towhich they are bonded and following administration of a compoundcontaining the group, is converted in vivo to a compound of Formula (Ia)wherein R^(4a) and R^(4b) are both H. The conversion of the “secondmetabolically-liable group” can be by metabolic and/or chemicalprocesses and can occur in one step or through a series of two or moresteps. Representative examples of a “divalent-metabolically-labilegroup” include, but are not limited to, when R^(4a) and R^(4b) togetherwith the nitrogen to which they are both bonded form a heterocyclicgroup optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 substituents selectedindependently from the group consisting of C₁₋₆ acyl, C₁₋₆ acyloxy, C₂₋₆alkenyl, C₁₋₆ alkoxy, C₁₋₆ alkyl, C₁₋₆ alkylcarboxamide, C₂₋₆ alkynyl,C₁₋₆ alkylsulfonamide, C₁₋₆ alkylsulfinyl, C₁₋₆ alkylsulfonyl, C₁₋₆alkylthio, C₁₋₆ alkylureyl, amino, C₁₋₆ alkylamino, C₂₋₈ dialkylamino,carbo-C₁₋₆-alkoxy, carboxamide, carboxy, cyano, C₃₋₇ cycloalkyl, C₂₋₈dialkylcarboxamide, C₂₋₈ dialkylsulfonamide, halogen, C₁₋₆ haloalkoxy,C₁₋₆ haloalkyl, C₁₋₆ haloalkylsulfinyl, C₁₋₆ haloalkylsulfonyl, C₁₋₆haloalkylthio, hydroxyl, thiol, nitro, oxo, phenyl, thiooxo, andsulfonamide (such as, morpholin-4-yl, 2,5-dioxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl, and thelike). The groups illustrated are exemplary, not exhaustive, and oneskilled in the art could prepare other known varieties of groups. Insome cases, a “divalent-metabolically-labile group” (i.e., related towhen R^(4a) and R^(4b) together with the nitrogen to which they are bothbonded) can serve to improve efficacy or safety through improved oralbioavailability, or pharmacodynamic half-life, etc.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” is intended to mean theamount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits thebiological or medicinal response in a tissue, system, animal, individualor human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medicaldoctor or other clinician, which includes one or more of the following:

The compounds of the Formula (Ia) of the present invention can beprepared according to the general synthetic schemes in FIGS. 1 through 8as well as relevant published literature procedures that are used by oneskilled in the art. Exemplary reagents and procedures for thesereactions appear hereinafter in the working Examples. Protection anddeprotection may be carried out by procedures generally known in the art(see, for example, Greene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M., Protecting Groupsin Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) Edition, 1999 [Wiley]; incorporated hereinby reference in its entirety).

Indications and Methods of Treatment

In addition to the foregoing beneficial uses for the modulators of5-HT_(2A) receptor activity disclosed herein, the compounds disclosedherein are believed to be useful in the treatment of several additionaldiseases and disorders, and in the amelioration of symptoms thereof.Without limitation, these include the following:

1. Antiplatelet Therapies (Conditions Related to Platelet Aggregation):

Antiplatelet agents (antiplatelets) are prescribed for a variety ofconditions. For example, in coronary artery disease they are used tohelp prevent myocardial infarction or stroke in patients who are at riskof developing obstructive blood clots (e.g., coronary thrombosis).

In a myocardial infarction (heart attack), the heart muscle does notreceive enough oxygen-rich blood as a result of a blockage in thecoronary blood vessels. If taken while an attack is in progress orimmediately afterward (preferably within 30 minutes), antiplatelets canreduce the damage to the heart.

A transient ischemic attack (“TIA” or “mini-stroke”) is a briefinterruption of oxygen flow to the brain due to decreased blood flowthrough arteries, usually due to an obstructing blood clot. Antiplateletdrugs have been found to be effective in preventing TIAs.

Angina is a temporary and often recurring chest pain, pressure ordiscomfort caused by inadequate oxygen-rich blood flow (ischemia) tosome parts of the heart. In patients with angina, antiplatelet therapycan reduce the effects of angina and the risk of myocardial infarction.

Stroke is an event in which the brain does not receive enoughoxygen-rich blood, usually due to blockage of a cerebral blood vessel bya blood clot. In high-risk patients, taking antiplatelets regularly hasbeen found to prevent the formation of blood clots that cause first orsecond strokes.

Angioplasty is a catheter based technique used to open arteriesobstructed by a blood clot. Whether or not stenting is performedimmediately after this procedure to keep the artery open, antiplateletscan reduce the risk of forming additional blood clots following theprocedure(s).

Coronary bypass surgery is a surgical procedure in which an artery orvein is taken from elsewhere in the body and grafted to a blockedcoronary artery, rerouting blood around the blockage and through thenewly attached vessel. After the procedure, antiplatelets can reduce therisk of secondary blood clots.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of sustained irregular heartrhythm (arrythmia) Atrial fibrillation affects about two millionAmericans every year. In atrial fibrillation, the atria (the heart'supper chambers) rapidly fire electrical signals that cause them toquiver rather than contract normally. The result is an abnormally fastand highly irregular heartbeat. When given after an episode of atrialfibrillation, antiplatelets can reduce the risk of blood clots formingin the heart and traveling to the brain (embolism).

5-HT_(2A) receptors are expressed on smooth muscle of blood vessels and5-HT secreted by activated platelets causes vasoconstriction as well asactivation of additional platelets during clotting. There is evidencethat a 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist will inhibit platelet aggregation andthus be a potential treatment as an antiplatelet therapy (see Satimura,K, et al., Clin Cardiol 2002 Jan. 25 (1):28-32; and Wilson, H. C et al.,Thromb Haemost 1991 Sep. 2; 66(3):355-60).

5-HT_(2A) inverse agonists can be used to treat, for example,claudication or peripheral artery disease as well as cardiovascularcomplications (see Br. Med. J. 298: 424 430, 1989), Arterial thrombosis(see, Pawlak, D. et al. Thrombosis Research 90: 259 270, 1998),atherosclerosis (see, Hayashi, T. et al. Atherosclerosis 168: 23 31,2003), vasoconstriction, caused by serotonin (see, Fujiwara, T. andChiba, S. Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology 26: 503 510, 1995),restenosis of arteries following angioplasty or stent placement (see,Fujita, M. et al. Am Heart J. 145:e16 2003). It can also be used aloneor in combination with thrombolytic therapy, for example, tPA (see,Yamashita, T. et al. Haemostasis 30:321 332, 2000), to providecardioprotection following MI or postischemic myocardial dysfunction(see, Muto, T. et al. Mol. Cell. Biochem. 272: 119-132, 2005) orprotection from ischemic injury during percutaneous coronaryintervention (see, Horibe, E. Circulation Research 68: 68 72, 2004), andthe like, including complications resulting therefrom.

5-HT_(2A) inverse antagonists can increase circulating adiponectin inpatients, suggesting that they would also be useful in protectingpatients against indications that are linked to adiponectin, forexample, myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury and artherosclerosis(see Nomura, Shosaku, et al. Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis 2005,16, 423-428).

The 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonists disclosed herein provide beneficialimprovement in microcirculation to patients in need of antiplatelettherapy by antagonizing the vasoconstrictive products of the aggregatingplatelets in, for example and not limited to the indications describedabove. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present invention providesmethods for reducing platelet aggregation in a patient in need thereofcomprising administering to the patient a composition comprising a5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist disclosed herein. In further embodiments, thepresent invention provides methods for treating coronary artery disease,myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, angina, stroke, atrialfibrillation, or a symptom of any of the foregoing in a patient in needof the treatment, comprising administering to the patient a compositioncomprising a 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist disclosed herein.

In further embodiments, the present invention provides methods forreducing risk of blood clot formation in an angioplasty or coronarybypass surgery patient, or a patient suffering from atrial fibrillation,comprising administering to the patient a composition comprising a5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist disclosed herein at a time where such riskexists.

One aspect of the present invention provides a therapeutic agent fortreating indications associated with the pathophysiology of plateletaggregation used in combination with compounds of the present inventionas disclosed herein. Accordingly, compounds of the present invention canbe used alone or in combination with other therapeutic agent(s), suchas, thromboxane A2 blocker (aspirin and the like), and ADP-mediatedplatelet aggregation inhibitor (ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and the like)either administered together or separately.

2. Asthma

5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) has been linked to the pathophysiology ofacute asthma (see Cazzola, M. and Matera, M. G., TIPS, 2000, 21, 13; andDe Bie, J. J. et al., British J. Pharm., 1998, 124, 857-864). Thecompounds of the present invention disclosed herein are useful in thetreatment of asthma, and the treatment of the symptoms thereof.Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present invention provides methodsfor treating asthma in a patient in need of the treatment, comprisingadministering to the patient a composition comprising a 5-HT_(2A)inverse agonist disclosed herein. In further embodiments, methods areprovided for treating a symptom of asthma in a patient in need of thetreatment, comprising administering to the patient a compositioncomprising a 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist disclosed herein.

3. Agitation

Agitation is a well-recognized behavioral syndrome with a range ofsymptoms, including hostility, extreme excitement, poor impulse control,tension and uncooperativeness (See Cohen-Mansfield J, and Billig, N.,(1986), Agitated Behaviors in the Elderly. I. A Conceptual Review. J AmGeriatr Soc 34(10): 711-721).

Agitation is a common occurrence in the elderly and often associatedwith dementia such as those caused by Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body,Parkinson's, and Huntington's, which are degenerative diseases of thenervous system and by diseases that affect blood vessels, such asstroke, or multi-infarct dementia, which is caused by multiple strokesin the brain can also induce dementia. Alzheimer's disease accounts forapproximately 50 to 70% of all dementias (See Koss E, et al., (1997),Assessing patterns of agitation in Alzheimer's disease patients with theCohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory. The Alzheimer's Disease CooperativeStudy. Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord 11(suppl 2):S45-S50).

An estimated five percent of people aged 65 and older and up to 20percent of those aged 80 and older are affected by dementia; of thesesufferers, nearly half exhibit behavioral disturbances, such asagitation, wandering and violent outbursts.

Agitated behaviors can also be manifested in cognitively intact elderlypeople and by those with psychiatric disorders other than dementia.

Agitation is often treated with antipsychotic medications such ashaloperidol in nursing home and other assisted care settings. There isemerging evidence that agents acting at the 5-HT_(2A) receptors in thebrain have the effects of reducing agitation in patients, includingAlzheimer's dementia (See Katz, I. R., et al., J Clin Psychiatry 1999February, 60(2):107-115; and Street, J. S., et al., Arch Gen Psychiatry2000 Oct., 57(10):968-976).

The compounds of the invention disclosed herein are useful for treatingagitation and symptoms thereof. Thus, in some embodiments, the presentinvention provides methods for treating agitation in a patient in needof such treatment comprising administering to the patient a compositioncomprising a 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist disclosed herein. In someembodiments, the agitation is due to a psychiatric disorder other thandementia. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methodsfor treatment of agitation or a symptom thereof in a patient sufferingfrom dementia comprising administering to the patient a compositioncomprising a 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist disclosed herein. In someembodiments of such methods, the dementia is due to a degenerativedisease of the nervous system, for example and without limitation,Alzheimers disease, Lewy body, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington'sdisease, or dementia due to diseases that affect blood vessels,including, without limitation, stroke and multi-infarct dementia. Insome embodiments, methods are provided for treating agitation or asymptom thereof in a patient in need of such treatment, where thepatient is a cognitively intact elderly patient, comprisingadministering to the patient a composition comprising a 5-HT_(2A)inverse agonist disclosed herein.

4. Add-On Therapy to Haloperidol in the Treatment of Schizophrenia andOther Disorders:

Schizophrenia is a psychopathic disorder of unknown origin, whichusually appears for the first time in early adulthood and is marked by anumber of characteristics, psychotic symptoms, progression, phasicdevelopment and deterioration in social behavior and professionalcapability in the region below the highest level ever attained.Characteristic psychotic symptoms are disorders of thought content(multiple, fragmentary, incoherent, implausible or simply delusionalcontents or ideas of persecution) and of mentality (loss of association,flight of imagination, incoherence up to incomprehensibility), as wellas disorders of perceptibility (hallucinations), of emotions(superficial or inadequate emotions), of self-perception, of intentionsand impulses, of interhuman relationships, and finally psychomotoricdisorders (such as catatonia). Other symptoms are also associated withthis disorder. (See, American Statistical and Diagnostic Handbook).

Haloperidol (Haldol) is a potent dopamine D₂ receptor antagonist. It iswidely prescribed for acute schizophrenic symptoms, and is veryeffective for the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. In accordance withsome methods of the invention, adding a 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonistconcomitantly with Haldol will provide benefits including the ability touse a lower dose of Haldol without losing its effects on positivesymptoms, while reducing or eliminating its inductive effects onnegative symptoms, and prolonging relapse to the patient's nextschizophrenic event.

5. Sleep Disorders

It is reported in the National Sleep Foundation's 2002 Sleep In AmericaPoll, more than one-half of the adults surveyed (58%) report havingexperienced one or more symptoms of insomnia at least a few nights aweek in the past year. Additionally, about three in ten (35%) say theyhave experienced insomnia-like symptoms every night or almost everynight.

The normal sleep cycle and sleep architecture can be disrupted by avariety of organic causes as well as environmental influences. Accordingto the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, there are over80 recognized sleep disorders. Of these, compounds of the presentinvention are effective, for example, in any one or more of thefollowing sleep disorders (ICSD International Classification of SleepDisorders: Diagnostic and Coding Manual. Diagnostic ClassificationSteering Committee, American Sleep Disorders Association, 1990):

The effects of sleep deprivation are more than excessive daytimesleepiness. Chronic insomniacs report elevated levels of stress,anxiety, depression and medical illnesses (National Institutes ofHealth, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Insomnia Facts Sheet,October 1995). Preliminary evidence suggests that having a sleepdisorder that causes significant loss of sleep may contribute toincreased susceptibility to infections due to immunosuppression,cardiovascular complications such as hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias,stroke, and myocardial infarction, compromised glucose tolerance,increased obesity and metabolic syndrome. Compounds of the presentinvention are useful to prevent or alleviate these complications byimproving sleep quality.

The most common class of medications for the majority of sleep disordersare the benzodiazepines, but the adverse effect profile ofbenzodiazepines include daytime sedation, diminished motor coordination,and cognitive impairments. Furthermore, the National Institutes ofHealth Consensus conference on Sleeping Pills and Insomnia in 1984 havedeveloped guidelines discouraging the use of such sedative-hypnoticsbeyond 4-6 weeks because of concerns raised over drug misuse,dependency, withdrawal and rebound insomnia. Therefore, it is desirableto have a pharmacological agent for the treatment of insomnia, which ismore effective and/or has fewer side effects than those currently used.In addition, benzodiazepines are used to induce sleep, but have littleto no effect on the maintenance of sleep, sleep consolidation or slowwave sleep. Therefore, sleep maintenance disorders are not currentlywell treated.

Clinical studies with agents of a similar mechanism of action as arecompounds of the present invention have demonstrated significantimprovements on objective and subjective sleep parameters in normal,healthy volunteers as well as patients with sleep disorders and mooddisorders [Sharpley A L, et al. Slow Wave Sleep in Humans Role of5-HT_(2A) and 5HT_(2C) Receptors. Neuropharmacology, 1994, Vol.33(3/4):467-71; Winokur A, et al. Acute Effects of Mirtazapine on SleepContinuity and Sleep Architecture in Depressed Patients: A Pilot Study.Soc of Biol Psych, 2000, Vol. 48:75-78; and Landolt H P, et al.Serotonin-2 Receptors and Human Sleep: Effect of Selective Antagonist onEEG Power Spectra. Neuropsychopharmacology, 1999, Vol. 21(3):455-66].

Some sleep disorders are sometimes found in conjunction with otherconditions and accordingly those conditions are treatable by compoundsof Formula (Ia). For example, but not limited to, patients sufferingfrom mood disorders typically suffer from a sleep disorder that can betreatable by compounds of Formula (Ia). Having one pharmacological agentwhich treats two or more existing or potential conditions, as does thepresent invention, is more cost effective, leads to better complianceand has fewer side effects than taking two or more agents.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a therapeutic agentfor the use in treating Sleep Disorders. It is another object of thepresent invention to provide one pharmaceutical agent, which may beuseful in treating two or more conditions wherein one of the conditionsis a sleep disorder. Compounds of the present invention described hereinmay be used alone or in combination with a mild sleep inducer, such as,a sedating antihistamine (diphenhydramine, chloropheniramine,bromopheniramine and the like), GABA-A receptor modulators (Ambien,Sonata, Indiplon, Gaboxadol, and the like), melatonin agonists (ML1receptor agonist, such as Ramelteon and the like), sedatingantidepressants (such as a tricyclic antidepressant, doxepine and thelike), and benzodiazepines (diazepam and the like) and eitheradministered together or separately.

Sleep Architecture:

Sleep comprises two physiological states: Non rapid eye movement (NREM)and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. NREM sleep consists of four stages,each of which is characterized by progressively slower brain wavepatterns, with the slower patterns indicating deeper sleep. So calleddelta sleep, stages 3 and 4 of NREM sleep, is the deepest and mostrefreshing type of sleep. Many patients with sleep disorders are unableto adequately achieve the restorative sleep of stages 3 and 4. Inclinical terms, patients' sleep patterns are described as fragmented,meaning the patient spends a lot of time alternating between stages 1and 2 (semi-wakefulness) and being awake and very little time in deepsleep. As used herein, the term “fragmented sleep architecture” means anindividual, such as a sleep disorder patient, spends the majority oftheir sleep time in NREM sleep stages 1 and 2, lighter periods of sleepfrom which the individual can be easily aroused to a waking state bylimited external stimuli. As a result, the individual cycles throughfrequent bouts of light sleep interrupted by frequent awakeningsthroughout the sleep period. Many sleep disorders are characterized by afragmented sleep architecture. For example, many elderly patients withsleep complaints have difficulty achieving long bouts of deep refreshingsleep (NREM stages 3 and 4) and instead spend the majority of theirsleep time in NREM sleep stages 1 and 2.

In contrast to fragmented sleep architecture, as used herein the term“sleep consolidation” means a state in which the number of NREM sleepbouts, particularly Stages 3 and 4, and the length of those sleep boutsare increased, while the number and length of waking bouts aredecreased. In essence, the architecture of the sleep disorder patient isconsolidated to a sleeping state with increased periods of sleep andfewer awakenings during the night and more time is spent in slow wavesleep (Stages 3 and 4) with fewer oscillation Stage 1 and 2 sleep.Compounds of the present invention can be effective in consolidatingsleep patterns so that the patient with previously fragmented sleep cannow achieve restorative, delta-wave sleep for longer, more consistentperiods of time.

As sleep moves from stage 1 into later stages, heart rate and bloodpressure drop, metabolic rate and glucose consumption fall, and musclesrelax. In normal sleep architecture, NREM sleep makes up about 75% oftotal sleep time; stage 1 accounting for 5-10% of total sleep time,stage 2 for about 45-50%, stage 3 approximately 12%, and stage 4 13-15%.About 90 minutes after sleep onset, NREM sleep gives way to the firstREM sleep episode of the night. REM makes up approximately 25% of totalsleep time. In contrast to NREM sleep, REM sleep is characterized byhigh pulse, respiration, and blood pressure, as well as otherphysiological patterns similar to those seen in the active waking stage.Hence, REM sleep is also known as “paradoxical sleep.” Sleep onsetoccurs during NREM sleep and takes 10-20 minutes in healthy youngadults. The four stages of NREM sleep together with a REM phase form onecomplete sleep cycle that is repeated throughout the duration of sleep,usually four or five times. The cyclical nature of sleep is regular andreliable; a REM period occurs about every 90 minutes during the night.However, the first REM period tends to be the shortest, often lastingless than 10 minutes, whereas the later REM periods may last up to 40minutes. With aging, the time between retiring and sleep onset increasesand the total amount of night-time sleep decreases because of changes insleep architecture that impair sleep maintenance as well as sleepquality. Both NREM (particularly stages 3 and 4) and REM sleep arereduced. However, stage 1 NREM sleep, which is the lightest sleep,increases with age.

As used herein, the term “delta power” means a measure of the durationof EEG activity in the 0.5 to 3.5 Hz range during NREM sleep and isthought to be a measure of deeper, more refreshing sleep. Delta power ishypothesized to be a measure of a theoretical process called Process Sand is thought to be inversely related to the amount of sleep anindividual experiences during a given sleep period. Sleep is controlledby homeostatic mechanisms; therefore, the less one sleeps the greaterthe drive to sleep. It is believed that Process S builds throughout thewake period and is discharged most efficiently during delta power sleep.Delta power is a measure of the magnitude of Process S prior to thesleep period. The longer one stays awake, the greater Process S or driveto sleep and thus the greater the delta power during NREM sleep.However, individuals with sleep disorders have difficulty achieving andmaintaining delta wave sleep, and thus have a large build-up of ProcessS with limited ability to discharge this buildup during sleep. 5-HT_(2A)agonists tested preclinically and clinically mimic the effect of sleepdeprivation on delta power, suggesting that subjects with sleepdisorders treated with a 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist or antagonist will beable to achieve deeper more refreshing sleep. These same effects havenot been observed with currently marketed pharmacotherapies. Inaddition, currently marketed pharmacotherapies for sleep have sideeffects such as hangover effects or addiction that are associated withthe GABA receptor. 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonists do not target the GABAreceptor and so these side effects are not a concern.

Subjective and Objective Determinations of Sleep Disorders:

There are a number of ways to determine whether the onset, duration orquality of sleep (e.g. non-restorative or restorative sleep) is impairedor improved. One method is a subjective determination of the patient,e.g., do they feel drowsy or rested upon waking. Other methods involvethe observation of the patient by another during sleep, e.g., how longit takes the patient to fall asleep, how many times does the patientwake up during the night, how restless is the patient during sleep, etc.Another method is to objectively measure the stages of sleep usingpolysomnography.

Polysomnography is the monitoring of multiple electrophysiologicalparameters during sleep and generally includes measurement of EEGactivity, electroculographic activity and electromyographic activity, aswell as other measurements. These results, along with observations, canmeasure not only sleep latency (the amount of time required to fallasleep), but also sleep continuity (overall balance of sleep andwakefulness) and sleep consolidation (percent of sleeping time spent indelta-wave or restorative sleep) which may be an indication of thequality of sleep.

There are five distinct sleep stages, which can be measured bypolysomnography: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and four stages ofnon-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (stages 1, 2, 3 and 4). Stage 1 NREMsleep is a transition from wakefulness to sleep and occupies about 5% oftime spent asleep in healthy adults. Stage 2 NREM sleep, which ischaracterized by specific EEG waveforms (sleep spindles and Kcomplexes), occupies about 50% of time spent asleep. Stages 3 and 4 NREMsleep (also known collectively as slow-wave sleep and delta-wave sleep)are the deepest levels of sleep and occupy about 10-20% of sleep time.REM sleep, during which the majority of vivid dreams occur, occupiesabout 20-25% of total sleep.

These sleep stages have a characteristic temporal organization acrossthe night. NREM stages 3 and 4 tend to occur in the first one-third toone-half of the night and increase in duration in response to sleepdeprivation. REM sleep occurs cyclically through the night. Alternatingwith NREM sleep about every 80-100 minutes. REM sleep periods increasein duration toward the morning. Human sleep also variescharacteristically across the life span. After relative stability withlarge amounts of slow-wave sleep in childhood and early adolescence,sleep continuity and depth deteriorate across the adult age range. Thisdeterioration is reflected by increased wakefulness and stage 1 sleepand decreased stages 3 and 4 sleep.

In addition, the compounds of the invention can be useful for thetreatment of the sleep disorders characterized by excessive daytimesleepiness such as narcolepsy. Inverse agonists at the serotonin5-HT_(2A) receptor improve the quality of sleep at nightime which candecrease excessive daytime sleepiness.

Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention relates to thetherapeutic use of compounds of the present invention for the treatmentof Sleep Disorders. Compounds of the present invention are potentinverse agonists at the serotonin 5-HT_(2A) receptor and can beeffective in the treatment of Sleep Disorders by promoting one or moreof the following: reducing the sleep onset latency period (measure ofsleep induction), reducing the number of nighttime awakenings, andprolonging the amount of time in delta-wave sleep (measure of sleepquality enhancement and sleep consolidation) without effecting REMsleep. In addition, compounds of the present invention can be effectiveeither as a monotherapy or in combination with sleep inducing agents,for example but not limited to, antihistamines.

6. Diabetic-Related Pathologies:

Although hyperglycemia is the major cause for the pathogenesis ofdiabetic complications such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN),diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), increasedplasma serotonin concentration in diabetic patients has also beenimplicated to play a role in disease progression (Pietraszek, M. H., etal. Thrombosis Res. 1992, 66(6), 765-74; and Andrzejewska-Buczko J, etal., Klin Oczna. 1996; 98(2), 101-4). Serotonin is believed to play arole in vasospasm and increased platelet aggregability. Improvingmicrovascular blood flow is able to benefit diabetic complications.

A recent study by Cameron and Cotter in Naunyn Schmiedebergs ArchPharmacol. 2003 June; 367(6):607-14, used a 5-HT_(2A) antagonistexperimental drug AT-1015, and other nonspecific 5-HT_(2A) antagonistsincluding ritanserin and sarpogrelate. These studies found that allthree drugs were able to produce a marked correction (82.6-99.7%) of a19.8% sciatic motor conduction deficit in diabetic rats. Similarly,44.7% and 14.9% reductions in sciatic endoneurial blood flow andsaphenous sensory conduction velocity were completely reversed.

In a separate patient study, sarpogrelate was evaluated for theprevention of the development or progression of diabetic nephropathy(Takahashi, T., et al., Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2002 November;58(2):123-9). In the trial of 24 months of treatment, sarpogrelatesignificantly reduced urinary albumin excretion level.

7. Glaucoma

Topical ocular administration of 5-HT2 receptor antagonists result in adecrease in intra ocular pressure (IOP) in monkeys (Chang et al., J.Ocul Pharmacol 1:137-147 (1985)) and humans (Mastropasqua et al., ActaOphthalmol Scand Suppl 224:24-25 (1997)) indicating utility for similarcompounds such as 5-HT_(2A) inverse agonists in the treatment of ocularhypertension associated with glaucoma. The 5-HT2 receptor antagonistketanserin (Mastropasqua supra) and sarpogrelate (Takenaka et al.,Investig Ophthalmol Vis Sci 36:S734 (1995)) have been shown tosignificantly lower IOP in glaucoma patients.

8. Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a lethaldemyelinating disease caused by an opportunistic viral infection ofoligodendrocytes in immunocompromised patients. The causative agent isJC virus, a ubiquitous papovavirus that infects the majority of thepopulation before adulthood and establishes a latent infection in thekidney. In immunocompromised hosts, the virus can reactivate andproductively infect oligodendrocytes. This previously rare condition,until 1984 reported primarily in persons with underlyinglymphoproliferative disorders, is now more common because it occurs in4% of patients with AIDS. Patients usually present with relentlesslyprogressive focal neurologic defects, such as hemiparesis or visualfield deficits, or with alterations in mental status. On brain MRI, oneor more white matter lesions are present; they are hyperintense onT2-weighted images and hypointense on T1-weighted images. There is nomass effect, and contrast enhancement is rare. Diagnosis can beconfirmed by brain biopsy, with demonstration of virus by in situhybridization or immunocytochemistry. Polymerase chain reactionamplification of JC virus sequences from the CSF can confirm diagnosiswithout the need for biopsy [see, e.g., Antinori et al., Neurology(1997) 48:687-694; Berger and Major, Seminars in Neurology (1999)19:193-200; and Portegies, et al., Eur. J. Neurol. (2004) 11:297-304].Currently, there is no effective therapy. Survival after diagnosis isabout 3 to 5 months in AIDS patients.

JC virus enters cells by receptor-mediated clathrin-dependentendocytosis. Binding of JC virus to human glial cells (e.g.,oligodendrocytes) induces an intracellular signal that is critical forentry and infection by a ligand-inducible clathrin-dependent mechanism[Querbes et al., J Virology (2004) 78:250-256]. Recently, 5-HT_(2A) wasshown to be the receptor on human glial cells mediating infectious entryof JC virus by clathrin-dependent endocytosis [Elphick et al., Science(2004) 306:1380-1383]. 5-HT_(2A) antagonists, including ketanserin andritanserin, inhibited JC virus infection of human glial cells.Ketanserin and ritanserin have inverse agonist activity at 5-HT_(2A).

5-HT_(2A) antagonists including inverse agonists have been contemplatedto be useful in the treatment of PML [Elphick et al., Science (2004)306:1380-1383]. Prophylactic treatment of HIV-infected patients with5-HT_(2A) antagonists is envisioned to prevent the spread of JC virus tothe central nervous system and the development of PML. Aggressivetherapeutic treatment of patients with PML is envisioned to reduce viralspread within the central nervous system and prevent additional episodesof demyelination.

In some embodiments, methods are provided for treating progressivemultifocal leukoencephalopathy in a patient in need of such treatment,comprising administering to the patient a composition comprising a5-HT_(2A) inverse agonist disclosed herein.

9. Hypertension

Serotonin has been observed to play an important role in the regulationof vascular tone, vasoconstriction, and pulmonary hypertension (see,Deuchar, G. et al. Pulm. Pharmacol. Ther. 18(1):23-31. 2005; and Marcos,E. et al. Circ. Res. 94(9):1263-70 2004). Ketanserin, a 5-HT2A inverseagonist, have been demonstrated to protect against circulatory shocks,intracranial hypertension, and cerebral ischemia during heatstroke (see,Chang, C. et al. Shock 24(4): 336-340 2005); and to stabilize bloodpressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (see, Miao, C. Clin. Exp.Pharmacol. Physiol. 30(3): 189-193). Mainserin, a 5-HT2A inverseagonist, has been shown to prevent DOCA-salt induced hypertension inrats (see, Silva, A. Eur, J. Pharmacol. 518(2-3): 152-7 2005).

10. Pain

5-HT2A inverse agonists are also effective for the treatment of pain.Sarpogrelate has been observed to provide a significant analgesic effectboth on thermal induced pain in rats after intraperitonealadministration and on inflammatory pain in rats after either intrathecalor intraperitoneal administration (see, Nishiyama, T. Eur. J. Pharmacol.516:18-22 2005). This same 5-HT2A inverse agonist in humans has beenshown to be an effective treatment for lower back pain, leg pain andnumbness associated with sciatica brought on by lumbar disc herniation(see, Kanayama, M. et al. J. Neurosurg: Spine 2:441-446 2005).

Pharmaceutical Compositions

A further aspect of the present invention pertains to pharmaceuticalcompositions comprising one or more compounds as described herein andone or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Some embodimentspertain to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of thepresent invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Some embodiments of the present invention include a method of producinga pharmaceutical composition comprising admixing at least one compoundaccording to any of the compound embodiments disclosed herein and apharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Formulations may be prepared by any suitable method, typically byuniformly mixing the active compound(s) with liquids or finely dividedsolid carriers, or both, in the required proportions, and then, ifnecessary, forming the resulting mixture into a desired shape.

Conventional excipients, such as binding agents, fillers, acceptablewetting agents, tabletting lubricants, and disintegrants may be used intablets and capsules for oral administration. Liquid preparations fororal administration may be in the form of solutions, emulsions, aqueousor oily suspensions, and syrups. Alternatively, the oral preparationsmay be in the form of dry powder that can be reconstituted with water oranother suitable liquid vehicle before use. Additional additives such assuspending or emulsifying agents, non-aqueous vehicles (including edibleoils), preservatives, and flavorings and colorants may be added to theliquid preparations. Parenteral dosage forms may be prepared bydissolving the compound of the invention in a suitable liquid vehicleand filter sterilizing the solution before filling and sealing anappropriate vial or ampoule. These are just a few examples of the manyappropriate methods well known in the art for preparing dosage forms.

A compound of the present invention can be formulated intopharmaceutical compositions using techniques well known to those in theart. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, outside thosementioned herein, are known in the art; for example, see Remington, TheScience and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2000, LippincottWilliams & Wilkins, (Editors: Gennaro, A. R., et al.).

While it is possible that, for use in the treatment, a compound of theinvention may, in an alternative use, be administered as a raw or purechemical, it is preferable however to present the compound or activeingredient as a pharmaceutical formulation or composition furthercomprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The invention thus further provides pharmaceutical formulationscomprising a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutically acceptablesalt or derivative thereof together with one or more pharmaceuticallyacceptable carriers thereof and/or prophylactic ingredients. Thecarrier(s) must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible withthe other ingredients of the formulation and not overly deleterious tothe recipient thereof.

Pharmaceutical formulations include those suitable for oral, rectal,nasal, topical (including buccal and sub-lingual), vaginal or parenteral(including intramuscular, subcutaneous and intravenous) administrationor in a form suitable for administration by inhalation, insufflation orby a transdermal patch. Transdermal patches dispense a drug at acontrolled rate by presenting the drug for absorption in an efficientmanner with a minimum of degradation of the drug. Typically, transdermalpatches comprise an impermeable backing layer, a single pressuresensitive adhesive and a removable protective layer with a releaseliner. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand and appreciatethe techniques appropriate for manufacturing a desired efficacioustransdermal patch based upon the needs of the artisan.

The compounds of the invention, together with a conventional adjuvant,carrier, or diluent, may thus be placed into the form of pharmaceuticalformulations and unit dosages thereof, and in such form may be employedas solids, such as tablets or filled capsules, or liquids such assolutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, gels or capsules filled withthe same, all for oral use, in the form of suppositories for rectaladministration; or in the form of sterile injectable solutions forparenteral (including subcutaneous) use. Such pharmaceuticalcompositions and unit dosage forms thereof may comprise conventionalingredients in conventional proportions, with or without additionalactive compounds or principles, and such unit dosage forms may containany suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate withthe intended daily dosage range to be employed.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in theform of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. Thepharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosageunit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examplesof such dosage units are capsules, tablets, powders, granules or asuspension, with conventional additives such as lactose, mannitol, cornstarch or potato starch; with binders such as crystalline cellulose,cellulose derivatives, acacia, corn starch or gelatins; withdisintegrators such as corn starch, potato starch or sodiumcarboxymethyl-cellulose; and with lubricants such as talc or magnesiumstearate. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection asa composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose or water may beused as a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Compounds of the present invention or a solvate or physiologicallyfunctional derivative thereof can be used as active ingredients inpharmaceutical compositions, specifically as 5-HT_(2A) receptormodulators. By the term “active ingredient” is defined in the context ofa “pharmaceutical composition” and shall mean a component of apharmaceutical composition that provides the primary pharmacologicaleffect, as opposed to an “inactive ingredient” which would generally berecognized as providing no pharmaceutical benefit.

The dose when using the compounds of the present invention can varywithin wide limits, as is customary and is known to the physician, it isto be tailored to the individual conditions in each individual case. Itdepends, for example, on the nature and severity of the illness to betreated, on the condition of the patient, on the compound employed or onwhether an acute or chronic disease state is treated or prophylaxis isconducted or on whether further active compounds are administered inaddition to the compounds of the present invention. Representative dosesof the present invention include, but are not limited to, about 0.001 mgto about 5000 mg, about 0.001 mg to about 2500 mg, about 0.001 mg toabout 1000 mg, 0.001 mg to about 500 mg, 0.001 mg to about 250 mg, about0.001 mg to 100 mg, about 0.001 mg to about 50 mg, and about 0.001 mg toabout 25 mg. Multiple doses may be administered during the day,especially when relatively large amounts are deemed to be needed, forexample 2, 3 or 4, doses. Depending on the individual and as deemedappropriate from the patient's physician or care-giver it may benecessary to deviate upward or downward from the doses described herein.

The amount of active ingredient, or an active salt or derivativethereof, required for use in treatment will vary not only with theparticular salt selected but also with the route of administration, thenature of the condition being treated and the age and condition of thepatient and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attendantphysician or clinician. In general, one skilled in the art understandshow to extrapolate in vivo data obtained in a model system, typically ananimal model, to another, such as a human. In some circumstances, theseextrapolations may merely be based on the weight of the animal model incomparison to another, such as a mammal, preferably a human, however,more often, these extrapolations are not simply based on weights, butrather incorporate a variety of factors. Representative factors includethe type, age, weight, sex, diet and medical condition of the patient,the severity of the disease, the route of administration,pharmacological considerations such as the activity, efficacy,pharmacokinetic and toxicology profiles of the particular compoundemployed, whether a drug delivery system is utilized, or whether anacute or chronic disease state is being treated or prophylaxis isconducted or on whether further active compounds are administered inaddition to the compounds of the present invention and as part of a drugcombination. The dosage regimen for treating a disease condition withthe compounds and/or compositions of this invention is selected inaccordance with a variety factors as cited above. Thus, the actualdosage regimen employed may vary widely and therefore may deviate from apreferred dosage regimen and one skilled in the art will recognize thatdosage and dosage regimen outside these typical ranges can be testedand, where appropriate, may be used in the methods of this invention.

The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or asdivided doses administered at appropriate intervals, for example, astwo, three, four or more sub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may befurther divided, e.g., into a number of discrete loosely spacedadministrations. The daily dose can be divided, especially whenrelatively large amounts are administered as deemed appropriate, intoseveral, for example 2, 3 or 4, part administrations. If appropriate,depending on individual behavior, it may be necessary to deviate upwardor downward from the daily dose indicated.

The compounds of the present invention can be administrated in a widevariety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. It will be obvious to thoseskilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise, as theactive component, either a compound of the invention or apharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of the invention.

For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds of thepresent invention, the selection of a suitable pharmaceuticallyacceptable carrier can be either solid, liquid or a mixture of both.Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules,cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier can beone or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavouringagents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders,preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulatingmaterial.

In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in a mixturewith the finely divided active component.

In tablets, the active component is mixed with the carrier having thenecessary binding capacity in suitable proportions and compacted to thedesire shape and size.

The powders and tablets may contain varying percentage amounts of theactive compound. A representative amount in a powder or tablet maycontain from 0.5 to about 90 percent of the active compound; however, anartisan would know when amounts outside of this range are necessary.Suitable carriers for powders and tablets are magnesium carbonate,magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch,gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, alow melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term “preparation” isintended to include the formulation of the active compound withencapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which theactive component, with or without carriers, is surrounded by a carrier,which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets and lozengesare included. Tablets, powders, capsules, pills, cachets, and lozengescan be used as solid forms suitable for oral administration.

For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax, such as an admixture offatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter, is first melted and the activecomponent is dispersed homogeneously therein, as by stirring. The moltenhomogenous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowedto cool, and thereby to solidify.

Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be presented aspessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or sprays containing inaddition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the artto be appropriate.

Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions,for example, water or water-propylene glycol solutions. For example,parenteral injection liquid preparations can be formulated as solutionsin aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. Injectable preparations, forexample, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may beformulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing orwetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparationmay also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxicparenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solutionin 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that maybe employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloridesolution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employedas a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oilmay be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition,fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation ofinjectables.

The compounds according to the present invention may thus be formulatedfor parenteral administration (e.g. by injection, for example bolusinjection or continuous infusion) and may be presented in unit dose formin ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small volume infusion or in multi-dosecontainers with an added preservative. The pharmaceutical compositionsmay take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily oraqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending,stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the activeingredient may be in powder form, obtained by aseptic isolation ofsterile solid or by lyophilization from solution, for constitution witha suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.

Aqueous formulations suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolvingor suspending the active component in water and adding suitablecolorants, flavours, stabilizing and thickening agents, as desired.

Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing thefinely divided active component in water with viscous material, such asnatural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodiumcarboxymethylcellulose, or other well known suspending agents.

Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to beconverted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for oraladministration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions, andemulsions. These preparations may contain, in addition to the activecomponent, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial andnatural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, andthe like.

For topical administration to the epidermis the compounds according tothe invention may be formulated as ointments, creams or lotions, or as atransdermal patch.

Ointments and creams may, for example, be formulated with an aqueous oroily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gellingagents. Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and willin general also contain one or more emulsifying agents, stabilizingagents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, orcoloring agents.

Formulations suitable for topical administration in the mouth includelozenges comprising active agent in a flavored base, usually sucrose andacacia or tragacanth; pastilles comprising the active ingredient in aninert base such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia; andmouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable liquidcarrier.

Solutions or suspensions are applied directly to the nasal cavity byconventional means, for example with a dropper, pipette or spray. Theformulations may be provided in single or multi-dose form. In the lattercase of a dropper or pipette, this may be achieved by the patientadministering an appropriate, predetermined volume of the solution orsuspension. In the case of a spray, this may be achieved for example bymeans of a metering atomizing spray pump.

Administration to the respiratory tract may also be achieved by means ofan aerosol formulation in which the active ingredient is provided in apressurized pack with a suitable propellant. If the compounds of thepresent invention or pharmaceutical compositions comprising them areadministered as aerosols, for example as nasal aerosols or byinhalation, this can be carried out, for example, using a spray, anebulizer, a pump nebulizer, an inhalation apparatus, a metered inhaleror a dry powder inhaler. Pharmaceutical forms for administration of thecompounds of the present invention as an aerosol can be prepared byprocesses well-known to the person skilled in the art. For theirpreparation, for example, solutions or dispersions of the compounds ofthe present invention in water, water/alcohol mixtures or suitablesaline solutions can be employed using customary additives, for examplebenzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption enhancers forincreasing the bioavailability, solubilizers, dispersants and others,and, if appropriate, customary propellants, for example include carbondioxide, CFC's, such as, dichlorodifluoromethane,trichlorofluoromethane, or dichlorotetrafluoroethane; and the like. Theaerosol may conveniently also contain a surfactant such as lecithin. Thedose of drug may be controlled by provision of a metered valve.

In formulations intended for administration to the respiratory tract,including intranasal formulations, the compound will generally have asmall particle size for example of the order of 10 microns or less. Sucha particle size may be obtained by means known in the art, for exampleby micronization. When desired, formulations adapted to give sustainedrelease of the active ingredient may be employed.

Alternatively the active ingredients may be provided in the form of adry powder, for example, a powder mix of the compound in a suitablepowder base such as lactose, starch, starch derivatives such ashydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).Conveniently the powder carrier will form a gel in the nasal cavity. Thepowder composition may be presented in unit dose form for example incapsules or cartridges of, e.g., gelatin, or blister packs from whichthe powder may be administered by means of an inhaler.

The pharmaceutical preparations are preferably in unit dosage forms. Insuch form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containingappropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form canbe a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities ofpreparation, such as packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials orampoules. Also, the unit dosage form can be a capsule, tablet, cachet,or lozenge itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of thesein packaged form.

Tablets or capsules for oral administration and liquids for intravenousadministration are preferred compositions.

The compounds according to the invention may optionally exist aspharmaceutically acceptable salts including pharmaceutically acceptableacid addition salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxicacids including inorganic and organic acids. Representative acidsinclude, but are not limited to, acetic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic,camphorsulfonic, citric, ethenesulfonic, dichloroacetic, formic,fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, hippuric, hydrobromic, hydrochloric,isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic,nitric, oxalic, pamoic, pantothenic, phosphoric, succinic, sulfiric,tartaric, oxalic, p-toluenesulfonic and the like, such as thosepharmaceutically acceptable salts listed in Journal of PharmaceuticalScience, 66, 2 (1977); incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The acid addition salts may be obtained as the direct products ofcompound synthesis. In the alternative, the free base may be dissolvedin a suitable solvent containing the appropriate acid, and the saltisolated by evaporating the solvent or otherwise separating the salt andsolvent. The compounds of this invention may form solvates with standardlow molecular weight solvents using methods known to the skilledartisan.

Some embodiments of the present invention include a method of producinga pharmaceutical composition for “combination-therapy” comprisingadmixing at least one compound according to any of the compoundembodiments disclosed herein, together with at least one knownpharmaceutical agent as described herein and a pharmaceuticallyacceptable carrier.

It is noted that when the 5-HT_(2A) receptor modulators are utilized asactive ingredients in a pharmaceutical composition, these are notintended for use only in humans, but in other non-human mammals as well.Indeed, recent advances in the area of animal health-care mandate thatconsideration be given for the use of active agents, such as 5-HT_(2A)receptor modulators, for the treatment of a 5-HT_(2A) mediated diseaseor disorder in domestic animals (e.g., cats and dogs) and in otherdomestic animals (e.g., such as cows, chickens, fish, etc.).

Other Utilities

Another object of the present invention relates to radio-labeledcompounds of the present invention that would be useful not only inradio-imaging but also in assays, both in vitro and in vivo, forlocalizing and quantitating the 5-HT_(2A) receptor in tissue samples,including human, and for identifying 5-HT_(2A) receptor ligands byinhibition binding of a radio-labeled compound. It is a further objectof this invention to develop novel 5-HT_(2A) receptor assays of whichcomprise such radio-labeled compounds.

The present invention embraces isotopically-labeled compounds of thepresent invention. An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compounds arethose which are identical to compounds disclosed herein, but for thefact that one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by an atomhaving an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass ormass number typically found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring).Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated in compounds of thepresent invention include, but are not limited to, ²H (also written as Dfor deuterium), ³H (also written as T for tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N,¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I,¹²⁵I and ¹³¹I. The radionuclide that is incorporated in the instantradio-labeled compounds will depend on the specific application of thatradio-labeled compound. For example, for in vitro 5-HT_(2A) receptorlabeling and competition assays, compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C,⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I, ¹³¹I, ³⁵S or will generally be most useful. Forradio-imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹³¹I ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Bror ⁷⁷Br will generally be most useful.

It is understood that a “radio-labeled” or “labeled compound” is acompound of Formula (Ia) that has incorporated at least oneradionuclide; in some embodiments the radionuclide is selected from thegroup consisting of ³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵I, ³⁵S and ⁸²Br. Certainisotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention are useful incompound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. In someembodiments the radionuclide ³H and/or ¹⁴C isotopes are useful in thesestudies. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium(i.e., ²H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting fromgreater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life orreduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in somecircumstances. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present inventioncan generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to thosedisclosed in the Schemes supra and Examples infra, by substituting anisotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.Other synthetic methods that are useful are discussed infra. Moreover,it should be understood that all of the atoms represented in thecompounds of the invention can be either the most commonly occurringisotope of such atoms or the more scarce radio-isotope ornonradio-active isotope.

Synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organiccompounds are applicable to compounds of the invention and are wellknown in the art. These synthetic methods, for example, incorporatingactivity levels of tritium into target molecules, are as follows:

A. Catalytic Reduction with Tritium Gas—This procedure normally yieldshigh specific activity products and requires halogenated or unsaturatedprecursors.

B. Reduction with Sodium Borohydride [³H]—This procedure is ratherinexpensive and requires precursors containing reducible functionalgroups such as aldehydes, ketones, lactones, esters, and the like.

C. Reduction with Lithium Aluminum Hydride [³H]—This procedure offersproducts at almost theoretical specific activities. It also requiresprecursors containing reducible functional groups such as aldehydes,ketones, lactones, esters, and the like.

D. Tritium Gas Exposure Labeling—This procedure involves exposingprecursors containing exchangeable protons to tritium gas in thepresence of a suitable catalyst.

E. N-Methylation using Methyl Iodide [³H]—This procedure is usuallyemployed to prepare (1-methyl or N-methyl (³H) products by treatingappropriate precursors with high specific activity methyl iodide (³H).This method in general allows for higher specific activity, such as forexample, about 70-90 Ci/mmol

Synthetic methods for incorporating activity levels of ¹²⁵I into targetmolecules include:

A. Sandmeyer and like reactions—This procedure transforms an aryl orheteroaryl amine into a diazonium salt, such as a tetrafluoroboratesalt, and subsequently to ¹²⁵I labeled compound using Na¹²⁵I. Arepresented procedure was reported by Zhu, D.-G. and co-workers in J.Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 943-948.

B. Ortho ¹²⁵Iodination of phenols—This procedure allows for theincorporation of ¹²⁵I at the ortho position of a phenol as reported byCollier, T. L. and co-workers in J. Labeled Compd Radiopharm. 1999, 42,S264-S266.

C. Aryl and heteroaryl bromide exchange with ¹²⁵I—This method isgenerally a two step process. The first step is the conversion of thearyl or heteroaryl bromide to the corresponding tri-alkyltinintermediate using for example, a Pd catalyzed reaction [i.e. Pd(Ph₃P)4]or through an aryl or heteroaryl lithium, in the presence of atri-alkyltinhalide or hexaalkylditin [e.g., (CH₃)₃SnSn(CH₃)₃]. Arepresented procedure was reported by Bas, M.-D. and co-workers in J.Labeled Compd Radiopharm. 2001, 44, S280-S282.

A radio-labeled 5-HT_(2A) receptor compound of Formula (Ia) can be usedin a screening assay to identify/evaluate compounds. In general terms, anewly synthesized or identified compound (i.e., test compound) can beevaluated for its ability to reduce binding of the “radio-labeledcompound of Formula (Ia)” to the 5-HT_(2A) receptor. Accordingly, theability of a test compound to compete with the “radio-labeled compoundof Formula (Ia)” for the binding to the 5-HT_(2A) receptor directlycorrelates to its binding affinity.

The labeled compounds of the present invention bind to the 5-HT_(2A)receptor. In one embodiment the labeled compound has an IC₅₀ less thanabout 500 μM, in another embodiment the labeled compound has an IC₅₀less than about 100 μM, in yet another embodiment the labeled compoundhas an IC₅₀ less than about 10 μM, in yet another embodiment the labeledcompound has an IC₅₀ less than about 1 μM, and in still yet anotherembodiment the labeled inhibitor has an IC₅₀ less than about 0.1 μM.

Although a variety of expression vectors are available to those in theart, it is preferred that the vector utilized be pCMV. This vector wasdeposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) on Oct. 13,1998 (10801 University Blvd., Manassas, Va. 20110-2209 USA) under theprovisions of the Budapest Treaty for the International Recognition ofthe Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purpose of Patent Procedure. TheDNA was tested by the ATCC and determined to be viable. The ATCC hasassigned the following deposit number to pCMV: ATCC #203351.

B. Transfection Procedure

For the IP accumulation assay (Example 10), HEK293 cells weretransfected while for the DOI binding assay (Example 11) COS7 cells weretransfected. Several protocols well known in the art can be used totransfect cells. The following protocol is representative of thetransfection procedures used herein for COS7 or 293 cells.

On day one, COS-7 cells were plated onto 24 well plates, usually 1×10⁵cells/well or 2×10⁵ cells/well, respectively. On day two, the cells weretransfected by first mixing 0.25 μg cDNA in 50 μL serum-free DMEM/welland then 2 μl lipofectamine in 50 μL serum-free DMEM/well. The solutions(“transfection media”) were gently mixed and incubated for 15-30 minutesat room temperature. The cells were washed with 0.5 mL PBS and then 400μL of serum free media was mixed with the transfection media and addedto the cells. The cells were then incubated for 3-4 hours at 37° C./5%CO₂. Then the transfection media was removed and replaced with 1 mL/wellof regular growth media.

For 293 cells, on day one, 13×10⁶ 293 cells per 150 mm plate were platedout. On day two, 2 mL of serum OptimemI (Invitrogen Corporation) wasadded per plate followed by addition of 60 μL of lipofectamine and 16 μgof cDNA. Note that lipofectamine must be added to the OptimemI and mixedwell before addition of cDNA. While complexes between lipofectamine andthe cDNA are forming, media was carefully aspirated and cells weregently rinsed with 5 mL of OptimemI media followed by carefulaspiration. Then 12 mL of OptimemI was added to each plate and 2 mL oftransfection solution was added followed by a 5 hour incubation at 37°C. in a 5% CO₂ incubator. Plates were then carefully aspirated and 25 mLof Complete Media were added to each plate and cells were then incubateduntil used.

Cells are thencounted and 55,000 cells are added to 96-well sterile poly-D-lysinetreated plates. Cells are allowed to attach over a six hour incubationat 37° C. in a 5% CO₂ incubator. Media is then carefully aspirated and100 μL of warm inositol-free media plus 0.5 μCi ³H-inositol is added toeach well and the plates are incubated for 18-20 hours at 37° C. in a 5%CO₂ incubator.

On the next day, media is carefully aspirated and then 0.1 mL of assaymedium is added containing inositol-free/serum free media, 10 μMpargyline, 10 mM lithium chloride, and test compound at indicatedconcentrations. The plates are then incubated for three hours at 37° C.and then wells are carefully aspirated. Then 200 μL of ice-cold 0.1Mformic acid is added to each well. Plates can then be frozen at thispoint at −80° C. until further processed. Frozen plates are then thawedover the course of one hour, and the contents of the wells(approximately 220 μL) are placed over 400 μL of washed ion-exchangeresin (AG 1-X8) contained in a Multi Screen Filtration plate andincubated for 10 minutes followed by filtration under vacuum pressure.Resin is then washed nine times with 200 μl—of water and then tritiatedinositol phosphates (IP, IP2, and IP3) are eluted into a collectingplate by the addition of 200 μl of 1M ammonium formate and an additional10 minute incubation. The elutant is then transferred to 20 mLscintillation vials, 8 mL of SuperMix or Hi-Safe scintillation cocktailsis added, and vials are counted for 0.5-1 minutes in a Wallac 1414scintilation counter.

The concentration of ADP used causesapproximately 10-20% of maximal aggregation. The 5-HT concentrationcorresponded to the concentration which produced maximal potentiation.Percent inhibition of aggregation was calculated from the maximumdecrease in optical density of the controls and of the samplescontaining inhibitors. Only the synergistic effect was assessed. Certaincompounds of the invention had activity values ranging from about 10 μMto about 2.0 nM in this assay.

Example 13 Efficacy of Compounds of the Invention in the Attenuation ofDOI-Induced Hypolocomotion in Rats

In this example, compounds of the invention can be tested for inverseagonist activity by determining whether these compounds could attenuateDOI-induced hypolocomotion in rats in a novel environment. DOI is apotent 5-HT_(2A)/_(2c) receptor agonist that crosses the blood-brainbarrier. The standard protocol used is described briefly below.

Animals

Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 200-300 g are used for alltests. Rats are housed three to four per cage. These rats are naïve toexperimental testing and drug treatment. Rats are handled one to threedays before testing to acclimate them to experimental manipulation. Ratsare fasted overnight prior to testing.

Compounds:

(R)-DOI HCl (C₁₁H₁₆INO_(2l).HCl) can be obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, andis dissolved in 0.9% saline. Compounds of the invention are dissolved in100% PEG400. DOI is injected s.c. in a volume of 1 mL/kg, whilecompounds of the invention are administered p.o. in a volume of 2 mL/kg.

Procedure:

The “Motor Monitor” (Hamilton-Kinder, Poway, Calif.) is used for allactivity measurement. This apparatus recorded rears using infraredphotobeams.

Locomotor activity testing is conducted during the light cycle(0630-1830) between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Animals are allowed 30 minacclimation to the testing room before testing began.

In determining the effects of compounds of the invention on DOI-inducedhypoactivity, animals are first injected with vehicle or the compound ofthe invention (50 mmol/kg) in their home cages. Sixty minutes later,saline or DOI (0.3 mg/kg salt) is injected. 10 min after DOIadministration, animals are placed into the activity apparatus andrearing activity is measured for 10 minutes.

Statistics and Results:

Results (total rears over 10 minutes) are analyzed by t-test. P<0.05 isconsidered significant.

Example 14 In Vitro Binding of 5-HT_(2A) Receptor Animals

Animals (Sprague-Dawley rats) are sacrificed and brains are rapidlydissected and frozen in isopentane maintained at −42° C. Horizontalsections are prepared on a cryostat and maintained at −20° C.

LSD Displacement Protocol:

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a potent 5-HT_(2A) receptor anddopamine D₂ receptor ligand. An indication of the selectivity ofcompounds for either or both of these receptors involves displacement ofradiolabeled-bound LSD from pre-treated brain sections. For thesestudies, radiolabeled ¹²⁵I-LSD (NEN Life Sciences, Boston, Mass.,Catalogue number NEX-199) can be utilized; spiperone (RBI, Natick, Mass.Catalogue number s-128) a 5-HT_(2A) receptor and dopamine D₂ receptorantagonist, can also utilized. Buffer consists of 50 nanomolar TRIS-HCl,pH 7.4.

Brain sections are incubated in (a) Buffer plus 1 nanomolar ¹²⁵I-LSD;(b) Buffer plus 1 nanomolar ¹²⁵I-LSD and 1 micromolar spiperone; orBuffer plus 1 nanomolar ¹²⁵I-LSD and 1 micromolar Compound of interestfor 30 minutes at room temperature. Sections are then washed 2×10minutes at 4° C. in Buffer, followed by 20 seconds in distilled H₂O.Slides are then air-dried.

After drying, sections are apposed to x-ray film (Kodak Hyperfilm) andexposed for 4 days.

Example 15 Serotonin 5-HT_(2A) Receptor Occupancy Studies in Monkey

In this example, the 5-HT_(2A) receptor occupancy of a compound of theinvention can be measured. The study can be carried out in rhesusmonkeys using PET and ¹⁸F-altanserin. Radioligand:

The PET radioligand used for the occupancy studies is ¹⁸F-altanserin.Radiosynthesis of ¹⁸F-altanserin is achieved in high specific activitiesand is suitable for radiolabeling 5-HT_(2A) receptors in vivo (seeStaley et al., Nucl. Med. Biol., 28:271-279 (2001) and references citedwithin). Quality control issues (chemical and radiochemical purity,specific activity, stability etc) and appropriate binding of theradioligand are verified in rat brain slices prior to use in PETexperiments.

Drug Doses and Formulations:

Briefly, the radiopharmaceutical is dissolved in sterile 0.9% saline, pHapprox 6-7. The compounds of the invention are dissolved in 60% PEG400-40% sterile saline on the same day of the PET experiment.

Serotonin 5-HT_(2A) occupancy studies in humans have been reported forM100,907 (Grunder et al., Neuropsychopharmacology, 17:175-185 (1997),and Talvik-Lofti et al., Psychopharmacology, 148:400-403 (2000)). Highoccupancies of the 5-HT_(2A) receptors have been reported for variousoral doses (doses studied ranged from 6 to 20 mg). For example, anoccupancy of >90% was reported for a dose of 20 mg (Talvik-Lofti et al.,supra), which translates to approx. 0.28 mg/kg. It may therefore beanticipated that an i.v. dose of 0.1 to 0.2 mg/kg of M100,907 is likelyto provide high receptor occupancy. A 0.5 mg/kg dose of a Compound ofthe invention can be used in these studies.

PET Experiments:

The monkey is anesthetized by using ketamine (10 mg/kg) and ismaintained using 0.7 to 1.25% isoflurane. Typically, the monkey has twoi.v. lines, one on each arm. One i.v. line is used to administer theradioligand, while the other line is used to draw blood samples forpharmacokinetic data of the radioligand as well as the cold drugs.Generally, rapid blood samples are taken as the radioligand isadministered which then taper out by the end of the scan. A volume ofapproximately 1 mL of blood is taken per time point, which is spun down,and a portion of the plasma is counted for radioactivity in the blood.

An initial control study is carried out in order to measure baselinereceptor densities. PET scans on the monkey are separated by at leasttwo weeks. Unlabeled Compound of the invention is administeredintravenously, dissolved in 80% PEG 400:40% sterile saline.

PET Data Analysis:

PET data are analyzed by using cerebellum as the reference region andusing the distribution volume region (DVR) method. This method has beenapplied for the analysis of ¹⁸F-altanserin PET data in nonhuman primateand human studies (Smith et al., Synapse, 30:380-392 (1998).

Example 16 The Effect of Compounds of the Invention and Zolpidem onDelta Power in Rats

In this example, the effect of Compounds of the invention on sleep andwakefullness can be compared to the reference drug zolpidem. Drugs areadministered during the middle of the light period (inactivity period).

Briefly, Compounds of the invention are tested for their effects onsleep parameters and are compared to zolpidem (5.0 mg/kg, Sigma, St.Louis, Mo.) and vehicle control (80% Tween 80, Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.). Arepeated measures design is employed in which each rat is to receiveseven separate dosings via oral gavage. The first and seventh dosingsare vehicle and the second through sixth are the test compounds andzolpidem given in counter-balanced order. Since all dosings areadministered while the rats are connected to the recording apparatus,60% CO₂/40% O₂ gas is employed for light sedation during the oral gavageprocess. Rats are fully recovered within 60 seconds following theprocedure. A minimum of three days elapses between dosings. In order totest the effect of the compounds on sleep consolidation, dosing occursduring the middle of the rats' normal inactive period (6 hours followinglights on). Dosing typically occurs between 13:15 and 13:45 using a 24hour notation. All dosing solutions are made fresh on the day of dosing.Following each dosing, animals are continuously recorded until lightsout the following day (˜30 hours).

Animal Recording and Surgical Procedures:

Animals are housed in a temperature controlled recording room under a12/12 light/dark cycle (lights on at 7:00 am) and have food and wateravailable ad libitum. Room temperature (24±2° C.), humidity (50±20%relative humidity) and lighting conditions are monitored continuouslyvia computer. Drugs are administered via oral gavage as described above,with a minimum of three days between dosings Animals are inspected dailyin accordance with NIH guidelines.

Eight male Wistar rats (300+25 g; Charles River, Wilmington, Mass.) areprepared with chronic recording implants for continuouselectroencephalograph (EEG) and electromyograph (EMG) recordings. Underisoflurane anesthesia (1-4%), the fur is shaved from the top of theskull and the skin was disinfected with Betadine and alcohol. A dorsalmidline incision is made, the temporalis muscle retracted, and the skullcauterized and thoroughly cleaned with a 2% hydrogen peroxide solution.Stainless steel screws (#000) are implanted into the skull and served asepidural electrodes. EEG electrodes are positioned bilaterally at +2.0mm AP from bregma and 2.0 mm ML and at −6.0 mm AP and 3.0 mm ML.Multi-stranded twisted stainless steel wire electrodes are suturedbilaterally in the neck muscles for recording of the EMG. EMG and EEGelectrodes are soldered to a head plug connector that was affixed to theskull with dental acrylic. Incisions are closed with suture (silk 4-0)and antibiotics administered topically. Pain is relieved by along-lasting analgesic (Buprenorphine) administered intramuscularly oncepost-operatively. Post-surgery, each animal is placed in a clean cageand observed until it is recovered. Animals are permitted a minimum ofone week post-operative recovery before study.

For sleep recordings, animals are connected via a cable and acounter-balanced commutator to a Neurodata model 15 data collectionsystem (Grass-Telefactor, West Warwick, R.I.). The animals are allowedan acclimation period of at least 48 hours before the start of theexperiment and are connected to the recording apparatus continuouslythroughout the experimental period except to replace damaged cables. Theamplified EEG and EMG signals are digitized and stored on a computerusing SleepSign software (Kissei Comtec, Irvine Calif.).

Data Analysis:

EEG and EMG data are scored visually in 10 second epochs for waking (W),REMS, NREMS. Scored data are analyzed and expressed as time spent ineach state per half hour. Sleep bout length and number of bouts for eachstate are calculated in hourly bins. A “bout” consists of a minimum oftwo consecutive epochs of a given state. EEG delta power (0.5-3.5 Hz)within NREMS is also analyzed in hourly bins. The EEG spectra duringNREMS are obtained offline with a fast Fourier transform algorithm onall epochs without artifact. The delta power is normalized to theaverage delta power in NREMS between 23:00 and 1:00, a time when deltapower is normally lowest.

Data are analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Light phase and darkphase data are analyzed separately. Both the treatment effect withineach rat and the time by treatment effect within each rat is analyzed.Since two comparisons are made, a minimum value of P<0.025 is requiredfor post hoc analysis. When statistical significance is found from theANOVAs, t-tests are performed comparing all compounds to vehicle and thetest compounds to zolpidem.

Example 17 Efficacy of Compounds of the Invention in the Inhibition ofJC Virus Infection of Human Glial Cells

A compound of the invention can be shown to inhibit JC virus infectionof human glial cells using the in vitro model of Elphick et al. [Science(2004) 306:1380-1383], essentially as described briefly here.

Cells and JC Virus

The human glial cell line SVG (or a suitable subclone thereof, such asSVG-A) is used for these experiments. SVG is a human glial cell lineestablished by transformation of human fetal glial cells by an origindefective SV40 mutant [Major et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1985)82:1257-1261]. SVG cells are cultured in Eagle's minimum essentialmedium (Mediatech Inc., Herndon, Va.) supplemented with 10%heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, and kept in a humidified 37° C. 5%CO₂ incubator.

The Mad-1/SVEΔ strain of JC virus [Vacante et al., Virology (1989)170:353-361] is used for these experiments. While the host range of JCvirus is typically limited to growth in human fetal glial cells, thehost range of Mad-1/SVEΔ extends to human kidney and monkey cell types.Mad-1/SVEΔ is propagated in HEK cells. Virus titer is measured byhemagglutination of human type O erythrocytes.

Assay for Inhibition of JC Virus Infection

SVG cells growing on coverslips are pre-incubated at 37° C. for 45 minwith or without the compound of the invention diluted in mediacontaining 2% FCS. By way of illustration and not limitation, thecompound of the invention is used at a concentration of about 1 nM toabout 100 μM, at a concentration of about 10 nM to about 100 μM, at aconcentration of about 1 nM to about 10 μM, or at a concentration ofabout 10 nM to about 10 μM.

JC virus (Mad-1/SVEΔ) is then added at an MOI of 1.0 and the cells areincubated for 1 hr at 37° C. in the continued presence of the compoundof the invention. The cells are then washed 3× in PBS and fed withgrowth media containing the compound of the invention. At 72 hrpost-infection, V antigen positive cells are scored by indirectimmunofluorescence (see below). Controls include the addition of thecompound of the invention at 24 and 48 h post-infection. The percentageof infected cells in untreated cultures is set at 100%.

Indirect Immunofluorescence

For indirect immunofluorescence analysis of V antigen expression, SVGcells growing on coverslips are fixed in ice cold acetone. To detect Vantigen expression, the cells are then incubated for 30 min at 37° C.with a 1:10 dilution of hybridoma supernatant from PAB597. The PAB597hybridoma produces a monoclonal antibody against the SV40 capsid proteinVP1 which has been shown to cross-react with JC virus VP1. The cells arethen washed and incubated with goat anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 secondaryantibody for an additional 30 min After a final wash, the cells arecounterstained with 0.05% Evan's blue, mounted onto glass slides using90% glycerol in PBS and visualized on Nikon E800 epifluorescent scope.Images are captured using a Hamamatsu digital camera and analyzed usingImprovision software.

Example 18 In Vitro Dog Platelet Aggregation Assays

Approximately 50 mL of blood is pooled from 3 male beagles. The protocolfor analyzing the effects of compounds on platelet aggregation areidentical to those used for human platelets (see Example 12, supra)except 5 μM ADP and 2 μM 5-HT were used to stimulate amplification ofplatelet aggregation.

Example 19 Ex-Vivo Dog Whole Blood Aggregation

One hour following PO dosing with a test compound whole blood wascollected from male beagle dogs in a 5 mL vacutainer with exogenousheparin (5 U/mL) added to vacutainer. Aggregation studies were evaluatedby using whole blood Aggregometer (Chronolog Corp.). Briefly, wholeblood (400 uL) was added to saline (600 uL) with constant stirring andactivated with 5 ug of Collagen (Chronolog Corp.). The serotoninresponse was obtained by adding 5-HT (Sigma) to final concentration of2.5 μM. Results: Selected compounds were tested for anti-plateletaggregation activity after single bolus oral dosing. The dose thatafforded maximal inhibition of 5-HT amplified platelet aggregation wasidentified and used for comparison.

Example 20 Rat In Vivo Thrombosis, Bleeding, Aggregation, PK AssayThrombosis Formation and Bleeding Time:

This model concomitantly measures thrombus formation, bleeding time,platelet aggregation and drug exposure in a single live dosed rat. Testcompounds are administered to male rats (weighing 250-350 g) via POinjection at varying concentrations depending on compound potencyranging from 1 mpk-100 mpk Animals are then anesthetized using Nembutalapproximately 30 min post PO. Once the animal is fully anesthetizedusing approved surgical techniques the animal's right femoral artery isisolated in 2 different sections approximately 4-6 mm in length, onearea for probe placement and one for Ferric Chloride patch positioning.The artery is then allowed to stabilize to allow recovery from thesurgery. During stabilization the animal is then intubated and placed ona ventilator (Harvard Apparatus, Inc.) at 75 strokes/min with a volumeof 2.5 cubic cm. Following intubation and after stabilization a microarterial probe (Transonic Systems, Inc) is then placed on the distalisolated femoral artery. Once the probe is in place the flow ismonitored using a Powerlab recording system (AD Instruments) to monitorrate of pulsatile flow. A small piece of filter paper soaked in 30%ferric chloride is placed on the area of the artery upstream of theprobe for 10 min After 5 min of Ferric Choloride patch placement thelast 3 mm of the rat's tail is removed. The tail is then placed in asaline filled glass vial at 37 degree and the time it took for bleedingto stop is recorded. After the Ferric chloride patch is removed the flowis recorded until the artery is occluded and time to occlusion isrecorded.

Whole Blood Aggregation and PK:

Following measurement of bleeding and time to occlusion 5 mL of blood isobtained for ex-vivo aggregation analysis by cardiac puncture in heparin(5 U/mL). An additional 500 μL of blood is collected in a separatevacutainer for PK analysis (plasma drug concentration). Ex-vivoaggregation studies are evaluated by using whole blood Aggregometer(Chronolog Corp.). Briefly, whole blood (400 μL) is added to saline (600μL) with constant stirring and activated with 2.55 μg of Collagen(Chronolog Corp.). The serotonin response is obtained by adding 5-HT(Sigma) to final concentration of 2.5 μM. Results: Test compounds orreference compounds with acceptable levels of binding to rat 5-HT2Areceptors are evaluated for effects of thrombus formation, bleeding andplatelet activity in a single model. This allows for the most accuratedemonstration of separation of the test compound effects on plateletmediated thrombus formation from effects on bleeding.
